ABOUT

Mastercard® Flight Delay Pass

In partnership with Worldwide Wallet issued with Westpac, BankSA, St.George, and Bank of Melbourne.

The number of people flying for leisure along with it, flight delays has increased over the years. Rather than let one upset your travel plans, safeguard your time with Mastercard Flight Delay Pass.

Should you encounter a delay for 120 minutes or more, you could be eligible for complimentary access to over 1,000 airport lounges in more than 100 countries with Mastercard Flight Delay Pass. Alternatively, if a lounge is unavailable, you could benefit from special dining offers at selected cafes and restaurants*. You are required to register for your flight prior to the flight's actual departure. Each leg of a multi-leg journey requires its own, separate, flight registration.

*The lounge access pass gives free access to select airport lounges, alternatively cardholders can use their lounge access pass to offset a dollar amount off the total bill at select dining options. This will vary based on location and affiliated LoungeKey Partners at the time. Click here for the list of LoungeKey airport lounge and/or dining options based on your departure airport, and the applicable terms and conditions. Once your flight has been registered, your LoungeKey pass will be sent to you via email and SMS in the event of a qualifying delay and can be used at any of the LoungeKey establishments at your departure airport.
